Answer:

8.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration  = 1.6m/s²

Initial velocity  = 36m/s

Final velocity  = 50m/s

Unknown:

Time taken for the acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

      Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity - initial velocity }{time taken }  

Insert the parameters and solve for time taken;

   1.6  = \frac{50 - 36}{t}  

    1.6t  = 14

         t  = 8.8s

a diver on a board 7.5m above the water walks off the end with a horizontal velocity of 2.3 m/s when they hit the surface of the
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

2.846m

Explanation:

The diver is performing projectile motion.

To find x(final), we are going to use the equation x(final) = v(initial)*t + x(initial)

x(initial) = 0

x(final) = ?

v(initial) = 2.3 m/s

we don't know t

To find t we will use y(final) = 1/2*(-9.8)*t^2 + v(initial in the y dir.)*t + y(initial)

- 9.8 in the acceleration in the y dir.

y(final) = 0

y(initial) = 7.5

v(initial in the y dir.) = 0

If we solve for t we get: t = 1.237s

Now we have all the components to solve for x(final) in x(final) = v(initial)*t + x(initial)

x(final) = 2.3*1.237 + 0

x(final) = 2.846m

Describe the relationship between the direction of the velocity vector and the direction of the acceleration or a body moving in
Law Incorporation [45]

In the centripetal movement, what happens with velocity is that it will remain constant, always pointing in its tangential direction of the trajectory. Said speed, although constant, will have a constant direction that will generate an acceleration that will always point towards the center of the circle radius. Both vectors as the turn is performed will always be perpendicular to each other.

Why can’t kinetic emerger ever be greater than potential energy
melomori [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of an object can't be greater than potential energy.

Explanation:

This is due to the reason that some of the energy is lost in the form of friction, heat energy, light energy etc. For example, a ball bounces to a height h in its first bounce.

A reasonable walking speed is _____.<br> A. 0.02 m/s<br> B. 0.2 m/s<br> C. 2 m/s<br> D. 20 m/s
statuscvo [17]

<em>I am gonna have to say A 0.02  because 2 meters a second is way too fast 0.2 is a little more than reasonable and if 2 meters a second is too fast then 20 is off so</em> A. should be most reasonable
